Bow shock fragmentation driven by a thermal instability in laboratory-astrophysics experiments
F. Suzuki-Vidal, S. V. Lebedev, A. Ciardi +16
The role of radiative cooling during the evolution of a bow shock was studied in laboratory-astrophysics experiments that are scalable to bow shocks present in jets from young stel…
Numerical study of jets produced by conical wire arrays on the Magpie pulsed power generator
M. Bocchi, J. P. Chittenden, A. Ciardi +5
The aim of this work is to model the jets produced by conical wire arrays on the MAGPIE generator, and to design and test new setups to strengthen the link between laboratory and a…
Experimental Studies of Magnetically Driven Plasma Jets
F. Suzuki-Vidal, S. V. Lebedev, S. N. Bland +11
We present experimental results on the formation of supersonic, radiatively cooled jets driven by pressure due to the toroidal magnetic field generated by the 1.5 MA, 250 ns curren…
Formation of Episodic Magnetically Driven Radiatively Cooled Plasma Jets in the Laboratory
F. Suzuki-Vidal, S. V. Lebedev, A. Ciardi +11
We report on experiments in which magnetically driven radiatively cooled plasma jets were produced by a 1 MA, 250 ns current pulse on the MAGPIE pulsed power facility. The jets wer…
Episodic Magnetic Bubbles and Jets: Astrophysical Implications from Laboratory Experiments
Andrea Ciardi, Sergey V. Lebedev, Adam Frank +6
Collimated outflows (jets) are ubiquitous in the universe appearing around sources as diverse as protostars and extragalactic supermassive blackholes. Jets are thought to be magnet…
Supersonic radiatively cooled rotating flows and jets in the laboratory
D. J. Ampleford, S. V. Lebedev, A. Ciardi +10
The first laboratory astrophysics experiments to produce a radiatively cooled plasma jet with dynamically significant angular momentum are discussed. A new configuration of wire ar…
